What Lumecca can treat

A clearer, more even-looking complexion.

Lumecca works by using flashes of light to break down pigment and target melanin-producing cells and hemoglobin in capillaries. The treatment can be used on the face, neck, décolletage and hands.

See the difference

Improvements can begin after one session.

You can notice improvements after one session, but a course of 3–5 treatments is recommended for best results, depending on your concerns and goals. Most people experience some redness after treatment, which typically only lasts a few days.

It is important to note that if treating areas of pigmentation, the pigmentation darkens before disappearing, whereas red thread veins can disappear immediately.

The number of sessions depends on your issue and goals.

Although there may be downtime, for pigmentation correction especially, you can apply make up a few hours later. No numbing is required, but you will require a patch test 24/48 hours prior to treatment.
